LGBT Graphic Novel, Nimona, is an Authentic Depiction of Gender Fluidity
dopesontheroad.comNimona is a queer graphic novel written by an incredible writer and storyteller, ND Stevenson. As the creator of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, his talent at making beautiful queer stories about love, found family, and challenging the world around you is clear.
Nimona,has now become a movie on Netflix starring Chloë Grace Moretz, Riz Ahmed, and Eugene Lee Yang. It tells the story of newly knighted Ballister Blackheart and shapeshifter Nimona as they work together to clear Ballister’s name of a crime he didn’t commit and change the kingdom for the better.
This tale is a queer fantasy with a gay love story involving two main characters whose storylines made me feel a lot of feelings.
Happiness, worry, love, and hope to name a few. The shapeshifter, Nimona, is highly relatable to the trans and nonbinary experience, as Nimona describes her need to shapeshift as an itch she feels in her body until she can shift.
